[QUOTE="newfie, post: 4118207, member: 58700"] you say keep . I see one . Shah junior and the people didnt object to that move originally. In fact they were likely more comfortable with that decision since they were used to daddy Shah who had run the country since 1925. Shah junior actually took power before 1953 but gradually lost it not because he was a tryant but because he tried to modernize Iran. In so doing he lost the support of the Shiite clergy . the same clergy who became his undoing in 1979. So while his tryanical ways later contributed the underlying root cause of his downfall was the conflict between his efforts to modernize Iran and the clergies efforts to retain a stricter theocratic state. the overthrow in 1953 basically delayed that move to the eventual theocracy that evolved. The force behind the evolution to a theocracy was stronger then the efforts by shah junior to sell modernization. [/QUOTE]
